Hartley, IA (KICD) — Just in time for the hot weather expected this week, the new Hartley swimming pool is open. Mayor Rod Ahrensdorff say it replaces a structure that was over seventy years old.

Ahrensdorf tells KICD News the pool has already experienced good attendance with programs for both youth and adults.

The new pool has 42 hundred square feet of water surface and 75 hundred square feet of deck, features a new bathhouse and concession stand, and is fully handicap accessible.

There had been discussion about moving the pool to a different location, but it was placed in Neebel Park close to where the old structure was located.
